Can you clarify which side of the LPC bus this is? We are currently having
a discussion for how to integrate the LPC master on an ARM64 server that
uses LPC to access an Aspeed LPC slave. For this one we want to use the
traditional ISA DT binding.

I'm guessing that you are interesting in the other side here, for mapping
the registers of the LPC slave on the Aspeed BMC, but that's not clear from
your email, as I'm assuming that the same chip has both master and slave
interfaces.
